Pics of my '68 Coronet 500 Convertible

[Hikin Mike]

My uncle bought it new, sold it to his dad and I have it now. It spent it's early life in Pennsylvania, so it has it's share of rust. It has been re-painted once and somebody patched it after re-painted. I recently got it running after a 11 year slumber. I spent 3 days detailing the exterior. Money is tight so I can't insure/register now, but as a photographer, I've been dying to take some pictures.

That is a good looking rig. I love the 68 Coronet 500 taillights and trunk finish panel.
The car looks great for being back east most of its life. Post up some engine and interior pictures even if they are not "show quality". Most of us have driver quality cars anyway. Are you going to the San Joaquin Valley Mopars Fall Finale? It is next month if I remember right. Not a huge show but still a decent one. It is held in a park on grass, much more easy on the feet than shows on asphalt or concrete!

Beautiful also the gold interior !!!

Great shots! Love the colors! Like Kern Dog said, take some more pics. Post some of the interior and engine. We all love car ****!

Lovely car. I too think the tailights/finish panel on 68 'nets are the best of the best.

Nice shots, the backdrop is superb, yet does not distract from the car.

There are a few continuing threads on this forum where we post random pictures that we took. Feel free to post some of your work
"Random picture thread" and "pictures of coolness"

Unfortunately money is tight so can't afford to register and insure it at this point. Also, the last time the car was on the road (Yosemte) it overheated, so I will have to fix that before it's road worthy.

I'll take some interior shots and even the 100k+ 318...lol!

I don't get too too many car shows anymore, but I usually always go to that one...it's not too far from where I live. I may even drive my mutt out there...
